Guest Posts from Last Week

April 14, 2013 by Mr. 1500 Days 3 Comments

Just a quick note to tell you about 2 guest posts that I did last week.

My Bank Tracker
Last week, Claire from My Bank Tracker posted an interview that I did with her. Among other things, she asked me about how I got to be the way I am, why I started the blog and about how I try to raise my children to be financially responsible. It even has a rare picture of me, playing catch with my youngest daughter. As an added bonus, I’m fully clothed* this time.

 

Dividend Growth Stock Investing

I guest posted on Dividend Growth Stock Investing about my change in investment strategy. As I get closer to retirement, I’ll be re-balancing my portfolio to have a greater emphasis on income. Dividend stocks will play a big part in this strategy shift.

 

*Frequent readers may remember a couple weeks ago where I posted a shirtless picture of my blindingly white torso. Transparency is painful at times.

    Just caught your guest post on DGSI. It’s a pretty good story, and certainly an ambitious goal. I’ve only recently got into dividend stocks about a year ago but see a great potential in their ability to help me retire early.

Freedom!

My goal was to build a portfolio of $1,000,000 by February of 2017; 1500 days from the birth of this blog (January 1, 2013). And hey look, I’ve since retired!

Investments only (primary home excluded)
1/1/13 (The Start): $586,043
1/1/14 (1 Yr Later): $869,635
1/1/15 (2 Yrs Later): $987,351
1/1/16 (3 Yrs Later): $1,057,961
1/1/17 (4 Yrs Later): $1,257,128
1/1/18 (5 Yrs Later): $1,527,701
1/1/19 (6 Yrs Later): $1,549,440
1/1/20 (7 Yrs Later): $2,035,040*
1/1/21 (8 Yrs Later): $3,379,746**
1/1/22 (9 Yrs Later): $4,762,642
1/1/23 (10 Yrs Later): $3,112,821

2023: Investments only
1/1: $3,112,821

Overall
2023 investment gains: $0
Investment gains since 1/1/2013: $2,526,778
Net worth***: $3,342,821

* The big jump between 2019 and 2020 was partly because we bought another home, but kept the previous (much more expensive) one as a rental. We have since sold it.

** Tesla.

*** Includes our primary home equity in addition to our investment portfolio.

Finally, we still have about $290,000 in mortgage debt (which I love!). No regrets about the debts!
